Wade leaves game with neck injury, returns

MILWAUKEE — Heat guard Dwyane Wade left Friday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks after taking a hard fall, but returned midway through the second quarter.

Wade was taken to the locker room because of a neck strain with 7 minutes, 17 seconds left in the first quarter. The injury occurred when he was driving to the basket only to be rejected by Bucks forward Larry Sanders.

Wade was treated on the court by trainers for nearly five minutes before leaving the court. Guard Ray Allen replaced him in the lineup.
